REEL DEAL: Iliw SPOTLIGHT

Iliw is a full-length narrative feature inspired by true stories of Japanese-Filipino-American War in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines from 1941-1945.  Since World War II, Japanese people have been misunderstood.  They have always been pictured, described, defined, and judged as the ultimate enemy in the horrors of war. 

As cinema is a very powerful medium for transformation, the film is written in such a way that it will be a very potent tool for education/re-education and re-orientation of the collective mind of all the Filipinos in the Philippines and all over the world.  In this case, the film redefines the social connection of Japan and the Philippines and manifests the social, spiritual, and cultural intricacies and diversities that help shaped the Japanese war period in the Philippines specifically in Ilocos Sur.

Iliw takes advantage of the technology, it uses High Definition camera with an adapter PS Teknik so one can make use of  varied film lenses to achieve the 35mm film look,  thus making Iliw a 35mm Digital High Def-- a filmless film, indeed.
